Native America Calling - Thursday, November 20, 2025 – Federal immigration crackdown collides with Native Americans

Family, friends, and tribal officials rallied to help after authorities in Iowa notified Leticia Jacobo she would be handed over to federal immigration officials instead of being released from jail. Jacobo is a member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. After extensive pushback, authorities admitted her U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer was a clerical error. We’ll hear Jacobo’s story. We’ll also hear about what was behind the Nisqually Tribe’s public announcement that it would not house immigrant detainees at their tribal corrections facility. Tribal officials say it is against their values of treating people with dignity and respect.

GUESTS

Leticia Jacobo (Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community), resident of Des Moines, Iowa

Maria Nunez (Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community), Leticia’s aunt

Gabe Galanda (Round Valley Indian Tribe), managing lawyer at Galanda Broadman

David Leslie (Iñupiaq), Iñupiaq activist in Fairbanks, Alaska

Native America Calling - Wednesday, November 19, 2025 – Indigenous voices speak up, but have little clout at COP30

As 200 nations from around the globe meet on the edge of the Amazon rainforest to hammer out cooperative goals on climate change, Indigenous people are making their presence known. They are included in discussions but have no negotiation power outside of the official representation from the countries they reside in. Many Indigenous attendees have organized marches, experienced civil disobedience, and even clashed with security officials in order to have their voices heard. Notably absent from this year’s talks is any senior Trump administration delegation. We’ll hear Indigenous perspectives about their role at COP30.

We’ll also hear from Cree journalist Brandi Morin, who spent months reporting on conflicts between Indigenous communities in Ecuador and Canadian mining companies. Currently, Ecuador’s president is working on reforming the country’s constitution to open up more natural resources for extraction.

GUESTS

Taily Terena (Terena), Indigenous climate and land activist

Andrea Carmen (Yaqui), executive director of the International Indian Treaty Council

Edson Krenak (Krenak), Brazil program manager for Cultural Survival

Brandi Morin (Cree, Iroquois, and French), journalist

Ologies with Alie Ward - Bisonology (BUFFALO) Encore with various bisonologists

Bison bison! Not just something to holler into the sky, but also the scientific name for North America's majestic wild bovines. In this encore, we explore a beast that once roamed the plains in the tens of millions. What's up with their humps? On what occasion do they wear capes? What noises do they make? How many are out there? What are the best ways to help them? In this special episode, you get 4x the usual number of ologists as we talk to archeologist Dr. Ken Cannon, wildlife biologist Dr. Dan McNulty, Alie's cousin Boyd and his wife Lila Evans, of the Blackfeet Tribe, who are bison ranchers based in Northern Montana. Also, once and for all: is it buffalo or bison? And can Alie hug one?
